Magic Fill Shortcut Key

[jrmach]

Is there a way to assign a shortcut key to the Magic fill? I could not find magic fill in the customize section or am I missing something?

I don't think there is a way to do it directly, but there is a workaround. You record a script that only does the magic fill, then bind the script to an icon, and then attach a keyboard shortcut to the bound script. Now, any time you have a selection you can use the shortcut.

Setup is the hardest part and it's very easy.
1) Make a selection
2) On the script toolbar (if you don't have it open, go View->toolbars->Script) hit the red record button
3) Run magic fill
4) Save Script on the script toolbar, name it something like "Magic Fill"
5) View -> Customize
6) On the customize dialog select the "Scripts" tab.
7) Select your script from the drop-down list and an icon you want to bind it to.
8) Click the "Bind" button. This script can now be added to toolbars and menus, and can also be given a shortcut key.
9) Click the "Keyboard" tab
10) Select "Bound Scripts" from the drop-down list of menus.
11) Select your bound script
12) Find a shortcut key you would like to use
13) Hit OK to save the change.
14) Save your workspace for easy retrieval should you need to reset the workspace at any time.
